here is an extract from "perldoc perlpodspec"​:

Historical note​: A few older Pod processors would not see a
">" as closing a "C<" code, if the ">" was immediately
preceded by a "-". This was so that this​:

C\<$foo\->bar>

would parse as equivalent to this​:

C\<$foo\-E\<lt>bar>

the "E<lt>" on the last line should be "E<gt>".
